Project: Write an Algorithm for a Dog Identification App


In this notebook, some template code has already been provided for you, and you will need to implement additional functionality to successfully complete this project. You will not need to modify the included code beyond what is requested. Sections that begin with '(IMPLEMENTATION)' in the header indicate that the following block of code will require additional functionality which you must provide. Instructions will be provided for each section, and the specifics of the implementation are marked in the code block with a 'TODO' statement. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully!

Note: Once you have completed all of the code implementations, you need to finalize your work by exporting the Jupyter Notebook as an HTML document. Before exporting the notebook to html, all of the code cells need to have been run so that reviewers can see the final implementation and output. You can then export the notebook by using the menu above and navigating to File -> Download as -> HTML (.html). Include the finished document along with this notebook as your submission.

In addition to implementing code, there will be questions that you must answer which relate to the project and your implementation. Each section where you will answer a question is preceded by a 'Question X' header. Carefully read each question and provide thorough answers in the following text boxes that begin with 'Answer:'. Your project submission will be evaluated based on your answers to each of the questions and the implementation you provide.

Note: Code and Markdown cells can be executed using the Shift + Enter keyboard shortcut. Markdown cells can be edited by double-clicking the cell to enter edit mode.

The rubric contains optional "Stand Out Suggestions" for enhancing the project beyond the minimum requirements. If you decide to pursue the "Stand Out Suggestions", you should include the code in this Jupyter notebook.


Why We're Here

In this notebook, you will make the first steps towards developing an algorithm that could be used as part of a mobile or web app. At the end of this project, your code will accept any user-supplied image as input. If a dog is detected in the image, it will provide an estimate of the dog's breed. If a human is detected, it will provide an estimate of the dog breed that is most resembling. The image below displays potential sample output of your finished project (... but we expect that each student's algorithm will behave differently!).

Sample Dog Output

In this real-world setting, you will need to piece together a series of models to perform different tasks; for instance, the algorithm that detects humans in an image will be different from the CNN that infers dog breed. There are many points of possible failure, and no perfect algorithm exists. Your imperfect solution will nonetheless create a fun user experience!

The Road Ahead

We break the notebook into separate steps. Feel free to use the links below to navigate the notebook.

  • Step 0: Import Datasets
  • Step 1: Detect Humans
  • Step 2: Detect Dogs
  • Step 3: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (from Scratch)
  • Step 4: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (using Transfer Learning)

Step 0: Import Datasets

Make sure that you've downloaded the required human and dog datasets:

  • Download the dog dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in this project's home directory, at the location /dogImages.

  • Download the human dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in the home directory, at location /lfw.

Note: If you are using a Windows machine, you are encouraged to use 7zip to extract the folder.

In the code cell below, we save the file paths for both the human (LFW) dataset and dog dataset in the numpy arrays human_files and dog_files.

Step 1: Detect Humans

In this section, we use OpenCV's implementation of Haar feature-based cascade classifiers to detect human faces in images.

OpenCV provides many pre-trained face detectors, stored as XML files on github. We have downloaded one of these detectors and stored it in the haarcascades directory. In the next code cell, we demonstrate how to use this detector to find human faces in a sample image.

In [2]:
# extract pre-trained face detector
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml')

# load color (BGR) image
img = cv2.imread(human_files[0])
# convert BGR image to grayscale
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# find faces in image
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)

# print number of faces detected in the image
print('Number of faces detected:', len(faces))

# get bounding box for each detected face
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
    # add bounding box to color image
    cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)
    
# convert BGR image to RGB for plotting
cv_rgb = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

# display the image, along with bounding box
plt.imshow(cv_rgb)
plt.show()
Number of faces detected: 1

Before using any of the face detectors, it is standard procedure to convert the images to grayscale. The detectMultiScale function executes the classifier stored in face_cascade and takes the grayscale image as a parameter.

In the above code, faces is a numpy array of detected faces, where each row corresponds to a detected face. Each detected face is a 1D array with four entries that specifies the bounding box of the detected face. The first two entries in the array (extracted in the above code as x and y) specify the horizontal and vertical positions of the top left corner of the bounding box. The last two entries in the array (extracted here as w and h) specify the width and height of the box.

Write a Human Face Detector

We can use this procedure to write a function that returns True if a human face is detected in an image and False otherwise. This function, aptly named face_detector, takes a string-valued file path to an image as input and appears in the code block below.

In [3]:
# returns "True" if face is detected in image stored at img_path
def face_detector(img_path):
    img = cv2.imread(img_path)
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)
    return len(faces) > 0

(IMPLEMENTATION) Assess the Human Face Detector

Question 1: Use the code cell below to test the performance of the face_detector function.

  • What percentage of the first 100 images in human_files have a detected human face?
  • What percentage of the first 100 images in dog_files have a detected human face?

Ideally, we would like 100% of human images with a detected face and 0% of dog images with a detected face. You will see that our algorithm falls short of this goal, but still gives acceptable performance. We extract the file paths for the first 100 images from each of the datasets and store them in the numpy arrays human_files_short and dog_files_short.

Answer:

  • 96 out of 100 or about 96% was correctly detected faces in human images
  • 18 out of 100 or about 18% was uncorrectly detected faces in dog images
In [4]:
human_files_short = human_files[:100]
dog_files_short = dog_files[:100]

#-#-# Do NOT modify the code above this line. #-#-#

## TODO: Test the performance of the face_detector algorithm 
## on the images in human_files_short and dog_files_short.
def face_detection_test(images):
    c = 0
    l = len(images)
    for img in images:
        c += face_detector(img)
    return c, l
In [5]:
c_human, l_human = face_detection_test(human_files_short)
In [6]:
c_dog, l_dog = face_detection_test(dog_files_short)
In [7]:
print(f'{c_human} out of {l_human} or about {c_human/l_human:.0%} was correctly detected faces in human images')
print(f'{c_dog} out of {l_dog} or about {c_dog/l_dog:.0%} was uncorrectly detected faces in dog images')
96 out of 100 or about 96% was correctly detected faces in human images
18 out of 100 or about 18% was uncorrectly detected faces in dog images

We suggest the face detector from OpenCV as a potential way to detect human images in your algorithm, but you are free to explore other approaches, especially approaches that make use of deep learning :). Please use the code cell below to design and test your own face detection algorithm. If you decide to pursue this optional task, report performance on human_files_short and dog_files_short.

In [8]:
### (Optional) 
### TODO: Test performance of another face detection algorithm.
### Feel free to use as many code cells as needed.

Step 2: Detect Dogs

In this section, we use a pre-trained model to detect dogs in images.

Obtain Pre-trained VGG-16 Model

The code cell below downloads the VGG-16 model, along with weights that have been trained on ImageNet, a very large, very popular dataset used for image classification and other vision tasks. ImageNet contains over 10 million URLs, each linking to an image containing an object from one of 1000 categories.

In [9]:
# define VGG16 model
VGG16 = models.vgg16(pretrained=True)

# move model to GPU if CUDA is available
if use_cuda:
    VGG16 = VGG16.cuda()

Given an image, this pre-trained VGG-16 model returns a prediction (derived from the 1000 possible categories in ImageNet) for the object that is contained in the image.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Making Predictions with a Pre-trained Model

In the next code cell, you will write a function that accepts a path to an image (such as 'dogImages/train/001.Affenpinscher/Affenpinscher_00001.jpg') as input and returns the index corresponding to the ImageNet class that is predicted by the pre-trained VGG-16 model. The output should always be an integer between 0 and 999, inclusive.

Before writing the function, make sure that you take the time to learn how to appropriately pre-process tensors for pre-trained models in the PyTorch documentation.

In [10]:
# Set PIL to be tolerant of image files that are truncated.
from PIL import ImageFile
ImageFile.LOAD_TRUNCATED_IMAGES = True

def VGG16_predict(img_path):
    '''
    Use pre-trained VGG-16 model to obtain index corresponding to 
    predicted ImageNet class for image at specified path
    
    Args:
        img_path: path to an image
        
    Returns:
        Index corresponding to VGG-16 model's prediction
    '''
    
    ## TODO: Complete the function.
    ## Load and pre-process an image from the given img_path
    ## Return the *index* of the predicted class for that image
    
    # First load the image
    img = Image.open(img_path) #.convert('RGB')
    
    # Setup the normalizer
    normalizer = transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
                                      std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
    
    # Setting up image preprocessor
    img_transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.Resize((224, 224)), # Resize the image to 244x244
                                        transforms.ToTensor(), # Convert the numpy array that contains the image into a tensor
                                        normalizer]) # Apply the normalizer
    
    # Apply the preprocessing to the image before passing it to our model 
    # and add a dummy axis as the model expect a batch of images not a single image
    preproccessed_img = img_transform(img)[:3,:,:].unsqueeze(0)
    
    # check if CUDA is available
    use_cuda = torch.cuda.is_available()

    # move imag to GPU if CUDA is available
    if use_cuda:
        preproccessed_img = preproccessed_img.cuda()
    
    # Use VGG16 to predict the class of the image
    pred = VGG16(preproccessed_img)
    # Move the prediction to cpu and convert it to numpy array and return the index of the class of highest probability
    pred = pred.cpu().data.numpy().argmax()
    
    return pred # predicted class index

(IMPLEMENTATION) Write a Dog Detector

While looking at the dictionary, you will notice that the categories corresponding to dogs appear in an uninterrupted sequence and correspond to dictionary keys 151-268, inclusive, to include all categories from 'Chihuahua' to 'Mexican hairless'. Thus, in order to check to see if an image is predicted to contain a dog by the pre-trained VGG-16 model, we need only check if the pre-trained model predicts an index between 151 and 268 (inclusive).

Use these ideas to complete the dog_detector function below, which returns True if a dog is detected in an image (and False if not).

In [11]:
### returns "True" if a dog is detected in the image stored at img_path
def dog_detector(img_path):
    ## TODO: Complete the function.
    
    # Use VGG16_predict to get the class index
    pred_idx = VGG16_predict(img_path)
    
    # Return True if the class is between 151 and 268 inclusive
    result = pred_idx >=151 and pred_idx <=268
    
    return result # true/false

(IMPLEMENTATION) Assess the Dog Detector

Question 2: Use the code cell below to test the performance of your dog_detector function.

  • What percentage of the images in human_files_short have a detected dog?
  • What percentage of the images in dog_files_short have a detected dog?

Answer:

  • 0 out of 100 or about 0% was uncorrectly detected dogs in human images
  • 95 out of 100 or about 95% was correctly detected dogs in dog images
In [12]:
# Helper function to test the dog detector
def dog_detection_test(images):
    c = 0
    l = len(images)
    for img in images:
        if dog_detector(img):
            c += 1
    return c, l
In [13]:
### TODO: Test the performance of the dog_detector function
### on the images in human_files_short and dog_files_short.

# Test the model in human images
detected_human, len_human = dog_detection_test(human_files_short)

# Test the model in dog images
detected_dog, len_dog = dog_detection_test(dog_files_short)

# Print the results
print(f'{detected_human} out of {len_human} or about {detected_human/len_human:.0%} was uncorrectly detected dogs in human images')
print(f'{detected_dog} out of {len_dog} or about {detected_dog/len_dog:.0%} was correctly detected dogs in dog images')
0 out of 100 or about 0% was uncorrectly detected dogs in human images
93 out of 100 or about 93% was correctly detected dogs in dog images

We suggest VGG-16 as a potential network to detect dog images in your algorithm, but you are free to explore other pre-trained networks (such as Inception-v3, ResNet-50, etc). Please use the code cell below to test other pre-trained PyTorch models. If you decide to pursue this optional task, report performance on human_files_short and dog_files_short.

In [14]:
### (Optional) 
### TODO: Report the performance of another pre-trained network.
### Feel free to use as many code cells as needed.

Step 3: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (from Scratch)

Now that we have functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, we need a way to predict breed from images. In this step, you will create a CNN that classifies dog breeds. You must create your CNN from scratch (so, you can't use transfer learning yet!), and you must attain a test accuracy of at least 10%. In Step 4 of this notebook, you will have the opportunity to use transfer learning to create a CNN that attains greatly improved accuracy.

We mention that the task of assigning breed to dogs from images is considered exceptionally challenging. To see why, consider that even a human would have trouble distinguishing between a Brittany and a Welsh Springer Spaniel.

Brittany Welsh Springer Spaniel

It is not difficult to find other dog breed pairs with minimal inter-class variation (for instance, Curly-Coated Retrievers and American Water Spaniels).

Curly-Coated Retriever American Water Spaniel

Likewise, recall that labradors come in yellow, chocolate, and black. Your vision-based algorithm will have to conquer this high intra-class variation to determine how to classify all of these different shades as the same breed.

Yellow Labrador Chocolate Labrador Black Labrador

We also mention that random chance presents an exceptionally low bar: setting aside the fact that the classes are slightly imabalanced, a random guess will provide a correct answer roughly 1 in 133 times, which corresponds to an accuracy of less than 1%.

Remember that the practice is far ahead of the theory in deep learning. Experiment with many different architectures, and trust your intuition. And, of course, have fun!

(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Dog Dataset

Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dogImages/train, dogImages/valid, and dogImages/test, respectively). You may find this documentation on custom datasets to be a useful resource. If you are interested in augmenting your training and/or validation data, check out the wide variety of transforms!

Question 3: Describe your chosen procedure for preprocessing the data.

  • How does your code resize the images (by cropping, stretching, etc)? What size did you pick for the input tensor, and why?
  • Did you decide to augment the dataset? If so, how (through translations, flips, rotations, etc)? If not, why not?

Answer:

  • I chosed to resize my images to the same size as VGG-16 and reduce the image size to 224x224 and to load the images to the model in batches of size 20 so the input tensor shape would be (20, 224, 224, 3)
  • I decided to augment training images only by rondamly cropping and resizing the images , randomly flipping horizontly, and randomly rotating them in range of 30 degrees to avoid overfitting. But for test and validation images i just resized them to the valid input shape.

Question 4: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step.

Answer:
For the problem we have here in order to acheive the best accuracy I would have chosed a deeper neural network with much more layers, but for the purpose of this task I chosed the following:

  • 6 Convolutional layers with kernal size (3,3) and same padding with stride of 1 to reserve the same size of the input picture but with different number of channels (32, 64, 64, 128, 256, 256) for each conv layer respectivly.
  • And to reduce the computation needed I follow each conv layer witha Max Pooling layer with a kernal size of (2,2) in order to reduce the tensor to half of it's height and width dimention.
  • To stable the training I chosed to use Batch Normalization layers for 2 of the conv layers and for the first fully-connected layer.
  • To pass the tensor to the fully connected layers I flatten the output of the last conv layer.
  • To reduce overfitting I used Dropout layers after each block.
  • Finaly I used 2 fully connected layer the last layer with the same output shape as the number of the classes 133.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Test the Model

Try out your model on the test dataset of dog images. Use the code cell below to calculate and print the test loss and accuracy. Ensure that your test accuracy is greater than 10%.

Step 4: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (using Transfer Learning)

You will now use transfer learning to create a CNN that can identify dog breed from images. Your CNN must attain at least 60% accuracy on the test set.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Dog Dataset

Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dogImages/train, dogImages/valid, and dogImages/test, respectively).

If you like, you are welcome to use the same data loaders from the previous step, when you created a CNN from scratch.

Question 5: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step. Describe why you think the architecture is suitable for the current problem.

Answer:

  • For our image classification problem here I choses to go with VGG-16 pretrained model and freez the parameters for the features extraction convolutional layers and just train the last fully connected layers to out a prediction for our 133 classes.

Step 5: Write your Algorithm

Write an algorithm that accepts a file path to an image and first determines whether the image contains a human, dog, or neither. Then,

  • if a dog is detected in the image, return the predicted breed.
  • if a human is detected in the image, return the resembling dog breed.
  • if neither is detected in the image, provide output that indicates an error.

You are welcome to write your own functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, but feel free to use the face_detector and dog_detector functions developed above. You are required to use your CNN from Step 4 to predict dog breed.

Some sample output for our algorithm is provided below, but feel free to design your own user experience!

dirs = os.listdir('data/dog_images/test')
breed_images = []
for dir in dirs:
    files = os.listdir('data/dog_images/test/' + dir)
    breed_images.append(os.path.join('data/dog_images/test/' + dir + '/', files[0]))

### TODO: Write your algorithm.
### Feel free to use as many code cells as needed.

def run_app(img_path):
    ## handle cases for a human face, dog, and neither
    img = Image.open(img_path)
    
    # Use dog_detector to see if there is a dog in the picture first
    if dog_detector(img_path):
        # get the dog breed
        breed, index =  predict_breed_transfer(img_path)
        
        # Create the figure  to display the picture
        fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(4, 4))
        
        # Display the dog picture with it's breed
        ax.imshow(img)
        ax.set_title(f'Predicted dog breed is {breed}', fontdict={'fontsize':13})

    elif face_detector(img_path) > 0:
        breed, index =  predict_breed_transfer(img_path)
        
        # Create a figure for the 2 pics original and a pic for the same predicted breed
        fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 4), ncols=2)

        ax[0].set_title('Original Image', fontdict={'fontsize':13})
        
        # Display the predicted dog breed image
        dog_image = Image.open(breed_images[index])
        ax[1].imshow(dog_image)
        ax[1].set_title(f'Predicted Dog: {breed}', fontdict={'fontsize':13})
        ax[1].set_xticks([]); ax[1].set_yticks([])

        # Display the original picture
        fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(4, 4))
        ax.imshow(img)
        ax.set_title(f'Sorry neither dog nor human were found here', fontdict={'fontsize':13, 'color':'#ff2020'})
        ax.set_xticks([]); ax.set_yticks([])

Step 6: Test Your Algorithm

In this section, you will take your new algorithm for a spin! What kind of dog does the algorithm think that you look like? If you have a dog, does it predict your dog's breed accurately? If you have a cat, does it mistakenly think that your cat is a dog?

(IMPLEMENTATION) Test Your Algorithm on Sample Images!

Test your algorithm at least six images on your computer. Feel free to use any images you like. Use at least two human and two dog images.

Question 6: Is the output better than you expected :) ? Or worse :( ? Provide at least three possible points of improvement for your algorithm.

Answer:
Acutaly the output was worse but overall I really enjoyed this project and the output was funny and we can improve the application by doing the following.

  • First to enhance the closest dog breed to a human picture we can do:
    • Use open cv to find the human face.
    • Crop the face image before pass it to the model.
    • Train a seperate model in dog faces and their breeds.
    • Use this model to predict the breed.
  • Second to enhance the dog breed prediction.
    • We can collect more images with equal number as possible for each class.
    • We can try several other pretrained model.
    • If we can get enough images for each class we can use the model archticture and train more models parameters not just the last few layers.
